Tracking our footprint
Decarbonisation
Circular economy
Purchased renewable electricity
*These metrics are subject to limited assurance as part of our 2025 Force For Good Report
^ 2025 Scope 1 emissions equals 34,179,285 kg CO2-e, Scope 2 emissions equals 81,081 kg CO2-e, 2019 Baseline is 91,358 kg CO2-e.
^^ Renewable electricity used was 92% (renewable electricity purchased + onsite renewable generation). 8% of electricity used was generated by natural gas in the Tooheys co-gen plant. The Panhead craft brewery was excluded from renewable electricity calculations due to its supply via an embedded network outside renewable certificate arrangements, leading to a change in boundary for this metric in comparison to the prior year.
